The journey from Koh Lanta to Koh Phi Phi takes only 30 minutes and arrives at 13.00.

Jolly Travel and Satun Pakbara SBC (the ‘SBC’ stands for speedboat club) operate a speedboat service. The reason the journey with these two operators takes 4 hours 30 minutes, which is 30 minutes longer than the journey on the Tigerline Travel ferry, is that the speedboat service calls in at several islands on the way to Koh Phi Phi: Koh Bolune, Koh Kradan, Koh Muk, Koh Ngai and Koh Lanta. Depending on your perspective this island hoping trip will either be a fun day out in a speedboat or an annoying stop/start journey in a cramped speedboat with a long wait before you can use a toilet or get out of the boat to smoke a cigarette. If you choose to travel from Koh Lipe to Koh Phi Phi by speedboat make sure you understand what this option involves.
